I really love this scene.
There are a few in depth topics I'd like to one day cover, but for now, I think opening up the conversation about her PTSD is pretty prevalent.
Also, I'm captivated by the way Manny shows up for Abby in this moment of vulnerability.
It genuinely confuses me when I read reviews or hear comments about Manny not having a personality or the story lacking in character development.
Just at a first glance, you can see their body language depicting a bond rooted in trust and mutual respect.
Manny wakes her perhaps too abruptly, but immediately leans into disarming language and open, non-threatening hands to calm her. He picks up on her defensive posture instantly and he's deliberate with his movements and tone after the fact.
He doesn't infantalize or shame her, which I think is extremely important and also speaks volumes about his character and their unique dynamic. But he understands how to approach her when her strength is peeled back to the cracks beneath.
The way he watches after her as she gets up off her makeshift bed stands out to me too.
Manny might be a womanizing pain in the ass on the outside, but deep down, he genuinely cares for the people in his circle. Abby especially.
